[English]

Talk to me girl

Tell me your lies

Let your secrets hypnotize

'Cause the light will never shine

On this heart of mine

And all the love we sacrificed

Look at all of the damage you have done in time

You can see what a savage I've become in my eyes

If you look in my heart you will find

No love, no light, no end in sight

And I'm looking for a miracle

And I'm looking for a miracle

But I hope, I pray and I will fight

'Cause I'm looking for a miracle

'Cause I'm looking for a miracle

There's a place I wanna go

And a life I wanna know

But you crucified my heart of gold

But oh, look at all of the damage you have done in turn

If you offer salvation I will run into your arms

And deep in my heart you will find

No love, no light, no end in sight

And I'm looking for a miracle

And I'm looking for a miracle

But I hope, I pray and I will fight

'Cause I'm looking for a miracle

'Cause I'm looking for a miracle

Miracle

And I'm looking for a miracle

There's no love, no light, no end in sight

And I'm looking for a miracle

And I'm looking for a miracle

But I hope, I pray and I will fight

'Cause I'm looking for a miracle

'Cause I'm looking for a miracle
